The Work of Christmas

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
               
                The work of Christmas begins:
                to find the lost,
                To heal the broken,
                To feed the hungry,
                To release the prisoner,
                To rebuild the nations,
                To bring peace among others,
                To make music in the heart.

                Howard Thurman

To all the members of the Mount Carmel College Community, we wish you the joy of the Christmas season.

May each Christmas, as it comes, find us more and more like Him who at this time became a little child, for our sake; more simple-minded, more humble, more affectionate, more resigned, more happy, more full of God.
John Henry Nemman.

Have a happy and safe holiday break.

Mrs Laurie Wolfe
Principal

Bulletin, Issue 37, 2009

The busy last few school weeks have come to an end for our 2009 Year 10 students. During these weeks our College community said farewell to its graduating students.

On Thursday, 26th November Father Denis Allen celebrated a beautiful Year 10 Thanksgiving Mass in our College Hall attended by all students, as well as the parents of our Year Ten Leavers. The next day at the Year 10 Leavers’ Assembly we informally acknowledged our Year 10 students. At this Assembly the Kindergarten students delighted the audience with their well performed songs, and a few heartwarming speeches from Student Leaders and teachers moved many in the audience to tears.

Our more formal ‘au revoir’ to the graduands of 2009 was on Speech Night on December 2nd. This is a wonderful event where we celebrate the year just gone and call upon many blessings for our Year Ten students as they leave Mount Carmel.

Finally, on Friday, 4th December, the much anticipated Leavers’ Dinner, held at Hadley’s Hotel, concluded the last rite of passage for our Year 10 girls. The glamorous tone of the evening was set by the colour scheme of silver and purple room decorations and was added to by the arrival of a group of shimmering, poised and sophisticated young women.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
